Julianna Pena, UFC 277 weigh-in

Julianna Pena was the last fighter to take to the scales for UFC 277.

The current UFC women’s bantamweight queen Pena is slated to face the former division title holder Amanda Nunes in a highly-anticipated rematch this Saturday at UFC 277.

Julianna Pena is the last fighter to make weight for UFC 277

During the Friday early weigh-ins at the UFC host hotel, challenger Nunes made weight early with the other athletes on the card rotating for their turn. One conspicuous absentee from a large part of the proceedings was Pena, who turned out to be the final fighter to step on.

While some were concerned about having another UFC champion lose her title on the scales, Pena was able to hit the mark and make weight, with just 90 seconds left on the clock, coming in half a pound under the championship limit at 134.5 lbs.

Ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans will follow next at 5 pm ET at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The venue will also host Saturday night’s card.
